This comprehensive volume collects Vivekananda's lectures and writings on all four paths — drawn from his landmark works Jnana Yoga, Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, and Bhakti Yoga — into a single 462-page reader. Vivekananda's genius was to make these ancient traditions intelligible to modern Western audiences without sacrificing their philosophical depth, and his lectures on these subjects remain among the most widely read introductions to Hindu philosophy in English. ✦ About the Author ✦ Swami Vivekananda 1863–1902 • Calcutta, India • Chief Disciple of Sri Ramakrishna • Founder, Ramakrishna Mission Swami Vivekananda (1863–1902) is widely regarded as the most important figure in the revival and global spread of Hinduism in the modern era. His appearance at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893 — where his address "Sisters and Brothers of America" drew thunderous applause — singlehandedly introduced Vedanta and Yoga to Western audiences. He subsequently founded the Vedanta Society and, on returning to India, the Ramakrishna Mission (1897). He died at 39, having transformed the global reception of Indian spirituality. His four yoga texts remain foundational reading in Vedantic study worldwide.
